Prediabetes and insulin resistance: getting tested, what the numbers mean, and the steps that can prevent type 2 diabetes

For anyone just told they have prediabetes or insulin resistance; anyone wondering whether to get tested; anyone holding an A1C or fasting glucose result; anyone whose doctor brought up their weight or metformin; and anyone worried about a child or a parent. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK, part of the NIH) says prediabetes is when blood glucose (blood sugar) is higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes; that in 2021 about 97.6 million people in the United States ages 18 and older had it; and that many people can take steps to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. This page passes on, by name, what NIDDK says: what it can lead to, who is more likely to get it, who should be tested and when, the blood tests and their numbers, healthy living and the National Diabetes Prevention Program, and managing weight and metformin. It builds the words to say to a doctor, and prints a card to keep.

Right now

  • Very thirsty and urinating a lot, and now vomiting and unable to keep drinks down, breathing fast and deep, or very confused or hard to wake: go to the emergency room or call 911 (ours). Do not wait for an appointment. Our diabetes guide has the CDC’s signs of a blood sugar emergency.
  • Very thirsty and urinating a lot, without those? See a doctor soon and ask for a blood sugar test (ours). NIDDK says some people with prediabetes may have symptoms similar to those of diabetes.
  • Thoughts of suicide? Call or text 988, any hour (ours).

More help

General information from people who care, not medical advice. We are not doctors or nurses. Only a health care provider can diagnose prediabetes or diabetes, read your test results, and choose or change a treatment, and this page cannot. This guide names only the medicine NIDDK names, and no brand and no amount of any medicine. It gives no diet and no exercise plan of its own. In an emergency, call 911.

This page and its wording were written with AI (Claude) for Scarlet Beast (our AI policy). No doctor or nurse has reviewed it. The facts were read on October 16, 2026 on one NIDDK page (NIH): Insulin Resistance & Prediabetes (last reviewed March 2025). The CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program page is linked because NIDDK names the program; the CDC’s own prediabetes page gives other figures (a different age to start testing, and a different count), and we did not mix the two. Ours: the emergency room or 911 line (it follows the CDC lines on our diabetes guide); seeing a doctor soon if you are very thirsty and urinating a lot; 988 for thoughts of suicide; not stopping or changing a medicine on your own; the kind words about weight; the questions to ask at a visit; health centers, food help and medicine costs when money is tight; and the order of the steps. What we left out: brand names, doses, weight-loss medicine names, body mass index charts, diet and exercise plans, research studies, and clinical pages for providers. This page saves nothing and loads no trackers.
